Archaeological Assessment The Archaeological Practice Ltd. Newcastle-upon-Tyne : The Archaeological Practice Ltd., 2004, 38pp, pls, colour pls, figs, refs Work undertaken by: The Archaeological Practice Ltd. A cultural heritage assessment was undertaken as a component of an EIA which was accompanying a planning application to improve the layout of the A167 road. Only two sites were identified as being directly impacted by the proposed road improvements. The work would require partial removal of the retaining wall, steps and piers along the west side of North Road. The site of Hopetown goods depot and yard lay in the path of the realigned Whessoe Road. This would result in the former yard's extent and topography no longer being apparent and the loss of any associated subsurface features. A strategy of archaeological evaluation/monitoring/recording was recommended. [Au(adp)] 1 /232 (B.55.S003) NZ DL3 6LU ARCHER STREET DEVELOPMENT, DARLINGTON Archer Street Development, Darlington, Co.

The area was first developed during the later post-medieval period when roads, residential and commercial buildings were constructed on the site. The site was then redeveloped in the 20th century. Borehole and test pit logs suggested that there may have been earlier archaeological deposits that had the potential to still be present within the site. A series of trial trenches were recommended.

The study area had been occupied almost continuously from the 12th or 13th century onwards, probably by a series of tenements which were likely to have left significant archaeological remains. The modern building had been terraced into the slope, which would have greatly affected some of the potential remains on site. A series of trial trenches were recommended.

The only surviving structure relating to the industrial activity which took place on the site in the past comprised a 20th century brick retaining wall. Two crop mark sites, possibly dating to the prehistoric or Romano-British periods were identified adjacent to the site. Recent archaeological works directly to the west of the site identified medieval ridge and furrow remains. The majority of the site was occupied by three collieries during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Limited borehole evidence indicated that the site had a substantial man-made horizon representing historic industrial activity on the site. Recommendations for the development footprint was to provide rafted building foundations, or evaluation trenching to determine the nature of deposits.

A baseline cultural heritage assessment was undertaken as part of the overall environmental impact assessment for the proposed redevelopment of the site. The main findings of the assessment were that no buildings were known to have been placed within the development area until the mid 19th century with the present structures dating to the early 20th century. There was a lot of industrial activity along the lower Ouseburn area in the post-medieval period and there was a strong possibility that industrial practices were carried out on the site.

The site was identified as being within the heart of the medieval village of East Backworth. This was one of ten manors that came into the possession of Tynemouth priory during the 12th to 13th centuries although the village could have had earlier Saxon origins. During the post-medieval period the site became part of the grounds within the Grey estate, associated with a house built in In 1780 a new hall had replaced the old and the site became a formal garden. Cartographic evidence showed that the site had then remained free of development and had most recently been used a market garden.

Archaeological Desk-top Assessment

14 Services, 2004, 22pp, figs, tabs, refs An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken in advance of a proposed development. The study area was in the vicinity of Burraton Tower, a Listed Grade II Building and lay within an area containing several prehistoric and Romano-British settlements. The area was occupied during the medieval and post-medieval periods. Although there was no evidence that the site itself was occupied, a lack of modern development suggested that any archaeological deposits from previous periods had the potential to survive.

The results indicated that although there was medium potential for the presence of archaeological deposits of prehistoric and Romano-British date, a sequence of modern activities had disturbed and truncated the western and northern portions of the site. The only area that remained with low potential for the survival of archaeological deposits was the south-east corner. In this south-east area modern landscaping and the insertion of a land drainage system for a school playing field may have also taken their toll on the archaeological resource.

The majority of the land had been undeveloped in the modern period, however, recent construction works did cover the majority of the site. There was a small area of land to the south-west which had remained undeveloped. A post-medieval waggonway crossed the site, although this was removed by the recent construction associated with the railway station. Further trial trenching in this area was recommended.

The land was probably cultivated on behalf of the Priors of Tynemouth during the medieval period. The area was on the site of the Ship Inn, probably dated to the early 19th century.
